Leaboys Lassie — текст песни (Mary Black)

First when I came to the town

They called me young and bonny

Now theyve changed my name

Called me the leaboys honey.



Ill dye my petticoats red

And Ill face them with a yellow

Ill tell the dyester lads

That the leaboys Ive to follow.



Its over hills and dales

And over dykes and ditches

Say will I like the lad

Who wears the moleskin breeches



The black horse draws the cart

And hes as proud as any

Say will I like the lad

That drives them on so canny



Feather beds are fine

And painted rooms are bonny

But I would leave them all

To jog away with johnny



Oh, for saturday night

Its I thatll see my dearie

Hell come whistlin in

When I am tired and weary.



First when I came to the town

They called me proud and saucy

Now theyve changed my name

Called me the leaboys lassie.
